Now imagine that the student again performed the task and you again used your rubrics to collect evidence. Now imagine that you were able to erase the student’s memory of doing the task and your memory of collecting the data. This consistency needs to be present for each individual marker as well as across markers.Ī good analogy would be to imagine that your student performed a task and that you collected data using a set of rubrics. For data to be reliable it must be consistent in the way that it measures a specified set of behaviours. Reliability relates to the data or evidence that we collect from students.
